Click the video tab at the top in the buttons with the photo scroller and watch an ACTUAL VIDEO WALKTHROUGH of the property and you get to go on the 2 minute walk to the beach as well. Be sure to click the CALENDAR button up there as well, as I keep that update to date!

Walk on the beautifully-stained hardwood floors. Watch the breathtaking sunsets over the ocean from anywhere in the living room, the kitchen or 25' long west-facing balcony (see photo).

Guests can watch the 47' LCD TV in the living room from the couch, the chair and the foldout sofa-loveseat. There is WIFI internet throughout the unit.

Enjoy the private patio, table, chairs and brand new barbecue outside on the ground floor.

The 'Under the Sea' North bedroom has a Queen size bed and closet.

The 'Nautical' South bedroom has a Full size bed w/ a Twin size trundle bed stored underneath and a small walk-in closet.

Stroll from the 2nd floor apartment only 2 minutes West to the beach at the Strand and a 5 minute walk North to the Pier Avenue collection of trendy and eclectic shops, restaurants and bars.

A 5 minute walk South brings you to the King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach. Kids will love the SEALab Aquarium at the closest end of the marina.

Laundry machines and 1-car parking is available in the garage (parking is scarce in Hermosa!).

Just a short stroll to world famous Hermosa Strand, Sand & Surf! So much to do (or just work on the tan,) with surfing, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, sport fishing, roller-blading, biking and skateboarding right here! Walk or bike ride to piers in Hermosa, Redondo or Manhattan Beach, with awesome casual or upscale dining and shopping. Great entertaining nightlife is a few blocks away!

About Alex Smith

My wife and I have lived in the South Bay for 3 generations. We raised two sons in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Our whole family loves the ocean, so we could never live away from the beach. Boating from King Harbor Marina just a couple blocks to the south is one of our passions.

Alex Smith purchased this apartment in 1984

Why Alex Smith chose Los Angeles County

I bought the property because it is across the street from the home my father and I built ourselves and where I grew up. I love the area.

What makes this apartment unique

It's so easy to walk to the Strand, go for a bikeride, go shopping, dining and enjoy outdoor recreation, all in the same place and without getting in a car!

Guestbook comments from the owner

I love this location just 2 blocks to beach, 6 to great night life, 5 to the Marina. Take a bike ride on the famous Strand, go boogie boarding, surfing or get a tan on the beach. I grew up across the street from this property. That is why when the opportunity came up to purchase this place I jumped on it. I have owned it since the early 80's. A couple months ago Gentil and I decided to add some improvements and furnish it to be a vacation rental. Gentil really did a fantastic job. Come see

Cozy, clean, great location. Owner was great to deal with. Immediate response to all needs.

The property is in a great location. The apartment is small but has everything you need on a vacation. The garage is a life saver since parking is tough. The apartment was very clean and we would get immediate response on all issues. When one of the bicycles broke down, Alex went out and bought two new ones the next day which my kids utilized every day. We would definitely stay again.

Casa de chill

This house was absolutely fantastic! I came with a group of young guys (early 20's) and we loved hanging out on the balcony when we got back from the beach, which was only a 5 minute walk away at most. It was very convenient having chairs for the beach provided. The pier is very close with all the bars and restaurants you could ask for. We also used the "Smart TV" to look up youtube videos and music. It really could not be in a better location. The "Casa de Chill" will always bring fond memories of our stay in Hermosa. Thanks Alex!

Owner's Response: Thanks, Justin! We love guests who are respectful of our neighbors and the property!

beach apartment

A clean well kept apartment which has a homely-feel to it. The lavatory blocked and flooded, but was soon fixed by someone after a phone call. It was close to the beach but I was unable to open the combination lock on the garage to find the beach kit. I still liked it.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the quick review. As you acknowledged, we are a quick phone call away in case of emergencies, plumbing or otherwise. The combo code to the garage is located in a folder, always sitting on the coffee table when you arrive at our home.

Great Functionality for a Family

My family of 5 had a fantastic time staying in this Hermosa beach home. We were able to walk to the beach everyday. The Hermosa beach "strip" is very close as well and gave us lots of additional entertainment and endless places to eat. Best of all the house was very flexible for my family, and was kid friendly to a point I was not worried about them walking into a different room by themselves.

Awesome Place

Great location, Great amenities, Great place. My family and I had a very nice stay in this apartment. The gift basket is Incredible!!! Bikes and beach gear come in very handy. The rental process was a breeze, had great prompt communication. Will stay here again

I ? Hermosa!

This place is rad! We stayed for three nights with two couples and had a great time in this cozy apartment. We loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean, soaking up the sun. It's so close to the Strand so we spent the majority of our time relaxing on the beach and bumming around Hermosa. The beach chairs and cruisers were an added bonus. We were sad to leave but we'll be back!
